[Idea] Terex AT-40

Last september Terex has launch its last Pick&Carry crane, but in larger format.

The AT-40 is planned to be a 6×6 articulated truck with a 40t capacity crane. Some preliminary technical specs here and the video from the launch:

If you have a good memory, I already built this year Terex’s crane, the MAC 25-3. What are the main difference/potential issues to build the AT 40:

The wheels. Front and rear axles are not at the same dimension. I know that wheels are always an issue when you try to make a realistic looking truck, so here double dose of issue.

Motorized or not. I like motors, power functions can make a great result – probably with the help of SBrick, for the minimum 5 function : propulsion, steering, raise/lower the boom, cable, extend the telescopic part. But hey, why make it simple and manually operated like the catering truck? It can even go on Lego Ideas if concluent.

The scale. I first though I would plan to make a “classical” 19-stud large truck. Yes but if it is motorized all the motor will not fit. Or it will be ugly like its predecessor.
